    We did not mention all the statistics during the announcement because statistics are not what make a roller coaster great; it's the ride experience it delivers that makes it great.

  • It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond! That was rhetorical. Under 30 days until Banshee makes its public debut! We can't wait for you to come out and experience this ride.

    We have guests that are more excited about our live shows than our roller coasters, that visit the park specifically for the shows. For these guests, the Cirque Imagine announcement was as exciting as

I figured you weren't serious but too tired to start assuming the logic in things LOL

:lol: thanks

That is NOT the station. Trust me, I know the station area very well. That is the transfer track area, which is adjacent to the station.

thanks, should have realized that, storage shed, transfer, station.

I haven't either, its a love hate relationship to me. I like how quickly the line moves and how neat the station looks when they assign seats, but I also like to pick where I sit.

Like yesterday, my friends and I went to the park and lapped Diamondback quite a bit. For my 100th ride I wanted to sit in the very back, and we did just that! No questions asked!

On a side note, has anyone else noticed how much Diamondbacks lift hill supports have faded over the past year?

I would rather not have a attendant at the top of the steps. If the station was full then there would not be empty rows heading out on busy days. CP does an outstanding job by calling out for single riders. I was on the ramp for TTD and they called out for a single rider front seat on TTD and I bypassed the line!

The good thing about a ride op at turnstile is to make sure that those in the station are cleared to ride, watch for line jumpers, and manage crowd. CP does manage crowd control a bit better, but lets say someone jumps the line and goes through the queue that doesn't meet rider safety guidelines, that person has a greater chance to be on the ride when they shouldn't. I like the op at turnstile, they should have this.

For assigned seating, it's nice, but like for Corkscrew, we didn't assign seats, but if a row was getting bare or needed slots to fill, I'd suggest rows ;)

How come the paint fades on coasters so quickely? You dont see this on cars? I wodner what type of paint they are using.

I swear I've seen an article about their paint before mentioning I believe marine based paint...I'd need someone to verify it or find it once I'm off of a .mil network

looks like a new truck load of track arrived recently. Can't tell for sure, is that track they're staging over by where the water tower is? If so, then I assume we'll start to see track going up by friday before Ki reopens for business.

Edit, upon 2nd look, looks like its a 2nd truck load of track, can't tell if its been stagged, but my guess is its still sitting on the flatbed waiting for the other truck to unload.

The camera needs to be zoomed in a little.

They need to have someone at the top of the stairs for crowd control. Canada's Wonderland is by far the best at everything they do to get their trains filled and dispatched in a timely manner.

It does look like a new truck load of track! Can anyone confirm this?? I'm going to KI on Saturday as its my only day to go. I work Friday and going to Riverfest on Sunday :)

it was at least 2 truck loads of track. When I looked earlier, there was one unloading and there was another truck waiting by the old water tower. However many minutes later when I looked again, the original truck had pulled out and the one by the water tower had backed in waiting for the crane to lift the track off. Could have been a 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.... prior to that, can't say I've been watching all morning, but there were at least 2 loads of track dropped off today.

I can't tell from the picture but are there new supports up by the transfer/storage area? To the right of the yellow crane but to the left of the staging platform. Is that new? I don't have my camera on me to consult the pics I took over the weekend to be able to tell. I would circle it but I'm on my phone on the way to work so I don't have the means to point out what I'm talking about.

I don't think anyone made the official announcement for Clifford

Send in

THE CRANES

P.S. We need someone who can sound like Liam Neeson say that...it would be super legit

Ahem.

And soon it's next year.

Didn't they have multiple camera views for Diamondback? I hope they do this soon for Banshee.

Sorry for double post.

Don tweeted that the first piece of track was installed today, I don't see where that was, does anyone else?

Sorry if this was already mentioned.
